1.3 Performance

The MR-S2 provides the following performance characteristics:

Item Value

Maximum Ingress (ASI Input) 213 Mbps 188-Byte Mode

Maximum Egress (ASI Output) 213 Mbps 188-Byte Mode

ASI to ASI PCR Jitter <75nS
Maximum Bits Per Second

(Maximum Packet Size 1,518 Bytes)
Latency Less than 10 ms

85 Mbps

1.4 Configurations

The MR-S2 comes in two configuration modes. The MR-S2, shown in in Figure 1-2, is a
Satellite-to-Ethernet IP router.

The MR-S2-ASI has the same feature set as the MR-S2; however, it contains an ASI input and
ASI output port. The MR-S2 not only can route ASI data from the input, it also is capable of
multiplexing the satellite feed to an existing ASI stream. The capabilities of the MR-S2-ASI are
shown in Figure 1-3.

Chapter 2. INSTALLATION &

INITIAL CONFIGURATION

2.1 Major Assembly

The CEFD MR-S2 and MR-S2-ASI are each available in a standalone configuration.
Table 2-1 lists the components provided with a standard configuration. In the event any
listed item is missing, please contact Comtech EF Data Customer Support.

Table 2-1. Digicast Media Router S2 Receiver – Standalone Configuration

Quantity Description

1
1 SPU30-102 Power Supply
1 IEC Power Cable
1 CA-TERMINAL Terminal Cable
1 CD (includes this manual and a Quick Start reference)
1 Quick Start sheet

2.2 Unpacking

The shipping container and packing materials should be retained for possible reshipment.

Perform a receiving inspection as follows:

• Inspect the shipping container for damage. If there is damage to the shipping

container,

• Check to determine that all parts, materials and documentation have been shipped

with the router.

• Inspect the router for possible physical damage.

• Test the router for proper operation.

• Contact Comtech EF Data Customer Support if the shipment is:

! Incomplete
! Physically damaged
! Inoperable

2.3 Installation

The MR-S2 is designed for ease of installation and configuration. Once the unit has
been removed from the packing container, please follow these instructions:

Step Procedure

1 Place the MR-S2 on a flat surface with free-air flow where the LEDs can be

clearly observed with unrestricted access to the rear panel of the unit.

2 It is suggested that the coaxial connection to the Low Noise Block (LNB)

NOT be connected to the unit until the unit has been fully configured. If the
unit will not be powering the LNB, it is recommend that an F-Type DC Block
be installed on the input to the MR-S2’s L-Band input

3 Connect the DC power connection to the connection labeled PWR on the

back of the unit and tighten the restraining nut to ensure secure operation.

4 Connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable (patch cord) to the port labeled

ETHERNET. This cable should be connected to an Ethernet concentrator
(hub) or switch.

5 Connect a terminal cable (supplied) to the port labeled TERM. This cable

should be connected to a PC’s serial port (DB-9) to initially configure the MR­S2.

6 Connect the AC power cord between a standard wall outlet and the power

supply. The Blue LED will illuminate.

Installation & Initial Configuration MN/MRS2ASIDC.IOM

2.4 Initial Configuration

The initial configuration involves setting up the IP parameters via the terminal cable.
Once the IP parameters have been configured, the terminal cable can be removed. The
terminal cable should be stored in a known location, since it may be needed in the future.

To configure the IP parameters:

Step Procedure

1 Using a terminal emulator on a PC such as HyperTerminal™ or

TeraTerm™, set up the communication port as follows:

• 38,400 BAUD

• 8 Data Bits

• 1 Stop Bit

• No Parity

• No Flow Control

2 Press the <ENTER> key on the PC – the MR-S2’s menu should be

displayed.
3 Press “N” for Network Menu.
4 Press “I” for the IP Address, Enter the IP Address and press <ENTER>.
5 Press “M” for the Subnet Mask. Enter the Subnet Mask and press

<ENTER>.
6 Press “G” for the Default Gateway IP Address. Enter the Default

Gateway Address and press <ENTER>.
7 Press “S” to save the parameters.

8 Press “Y” to confirm the saving of parameters.
9 Press “X” to exit to the main menu.

At this point, the unit has been configured for full operation and the terminal cable may
be removed. The coaxial connection to the Low Noise Block (LNB) and ASI Input (for
the CMR-5990 [MR-S2-ASI]) may now be safely attached to the L-Band input port. For
continued operation the unit may be managed via the Terminal Interface; however, it is
recommended to use the Web Interface for ease of management.
